This Holiday Season, Skip the Party Dress and Opt for a Festive Set

As the invitations to holiday soirées start to roll in, sometimes a one-and-done party dress just won’t do. Think beyond the minis and midis and opt for a matching two-piece set that feels just as fun as it is festive. The chic combination of a beautiful top paired with a matching skirt or trouser is a surefire way to achieve sartorial success this holiday season. The glittering palettes you’ve come to expect from a festive holiday dress can also be found on these party two-piece sets—think sequin skirt sets from Paco Rabanne and & Other Stories to a silver metallic bustier and matching pant from New Arrivals. Shimmering party two-piece sets were not only a top trend on the FW22 runways but on Vogue’s very own VOGUE World: New York Runway.

The matchy-matchy style is guaranteed to secure you a spot on the best dressed list this season, especially when the options are as bright and beautiful as the ones below. More than just shiny sequin sets, there are other textural two-piece takes, too, like a pink fringe skirt from Jonathan Simkhai, an embellished tank and midi skirt from Dries Van Noten, and a velvet bodysuit and miniskirt from Isabel Marant. For those wanting to forgo skirt sets all together, there are sleek suiting options as well from Zara’s satin suit to red velvet suits from Veronica Beard and Blazé Milano. And for the party person that dares to bare it all, there’s a sequin bra top from Khaite that pairs perfectly with its matching chiffon midi skirt. Party coords are also the ideal foundation for evening accessories to also shine, like a pair of embellished Mary Jane heels or a sequin moon bag.

This winter, take a stand in favor of the anti-party dress and shop these 19 matching two-piece sets that you’re sure to dazzle in all season long.
